I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

Holding the Radiant Quadrilateral, the other party approached Duanmu Lian. Grand Cross Nine Lang asked with a hint of doubt:

"Ah Lian, did that nightmare evil god have any effect on you?"

Previously, Ōshiki Kuro had also noticed the strangeness on Duanmu Lian's body and thought that she was affected by the Moon Blood Princess, so he rushed to kill her without stopping.

But after carefully examining the other person, I found that there was nothing unusual about them, inside or out.

“There seems to be something about Him that attracts me, a strange sense of resonance, something that doesn’t carry any evil aura.”

Duanmu Lian didn't hide anything and directly told everyone how she felt when she saw the Blood Princess of the Moon.

He wasn't affected by the other person, but he was drawn to and resonated with something about them.

In response, Da Shizi Jiulang quickly used his Demon-Slaying Great Sage's perception to examine Duanmu Lian from head to toe.

After confirming that the other party was alright, he looked at the Moon Blood Princess sealed within the Radiant Quadrilateral Armor.

"In a world bathed in sunlight, there is no place for your darkness to hide. Free yourself from hunger and thirst, and return to nothingness!"

Daishiku Kuro began chanting in a deep voice, and as he chanted, a huge barrier with zero spatial mass appeared around the Moon Blood Princess inside the Radiant Quadrilateral.

Lemuria Impact!

boom---!

Then, an infinite heat flash, enough to engulf the entire universe and burn the entire multiverse to ashes, burst out inside the barrier, devouring, decomposing, and destroying the Blood Princess of the Moon!

His flesh and even his soul were completely evaporated at this moment, leaving only one special thing.

"The only thing that doesn't carry an evil aura is this. This is... the power of dreams."

Da Shizi Jiulang manipulated the Demon-Slaying Great Sage to extract specks of light from the body of the Radiant Quadrilateral.

Since it was said that something without any evil aura resonated with Duanmu Lian, he then eliminated all the evil elements on the Moon Blood Princess.

In the end, all that remained was the power of the Moon Blood Princess as an evil god.

After the Demon-Slaying Great Sage, who possessed the power to sever demons, destroyed his opponent, the power that was originally a nightmare was transformed into a pure dream power.

"This is it. For some reason, it gives me a sense of familiarity and resonance, but also a feeling of rejection..."

Looking at the fragments of divine power on the mechanical hand of the Demon-Slaying Great Sage, Duanmu Lian carefully sensed them and confirmed that it was this thing that was attracting her.

But... why?

Why does this power feel both familiar and resonant to me, yet also evoke a sense of inexplicable rejection?

It's really strange, this contradictory feeling of both intimacy and rejection is something that Duanmu Lian really can't understand.

Looking at the fragments of power before him, he felt as if his heart was burning with desire, yet he also resisted it, his mind in utter turmoil.

"Then I'll let you study and figure it out."

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's strange description, Daishiji Kuro directly handed over the Dream Power to her.

"You're giving me something from an evil god?"

Upon receiving the luminous jade containing the power of dreams that the other party threw at her, Duanmu Lian showed a surprised expression.

He was in a state of confusion about this thing; he felt a sense of familiarity that made him want it, but a sense of rejection made him repulsed it, and he didn't feel any particular need to get it.

Moreover, this power was obtained from an evil god, so it's only natural that Daishiro Kuro would destroy it.

"I have destroyed all the parts that belong to the evil god. This is just a simple and pure dream power."

Daijushi Kuro chuckled lightly and said indifferently.

Initially, he had a strong sense of justice and morality.

He once said that there is no need for any reason behind the desire to help and protect others.

If he were to give up like this, he would feel guilty, and that guilt would be unbearable for him.

However, after witnessing the death of Duanmu Lian, whom he knew, and being forced into eternal slumber, El developed an extreme hatred and rejection for everything related to the evil god, and was no longer the same person he was at the beginning.

Don't be fooled by his current amiable and friendly demeanor towards Duanmu Lian; he never wastes words with anyone else. Anyone tainted by the power of the evil god, regardless of good or evil, will be eliminated with all his might!

...........

Inside the space.

After seeing off the Great Western King, Daishiji Kuro, and returning to his own world to fight the evil gods, Duanmu Lian did not return to the world of Akame ga Kill!, but instead returned to the inner world of the space.

With Duanmu Lian's incarnation, Calabash Little King Kong, overseeing things on Tokisaki Kurumi's side, the whole world has entered a period of normal development. Once the time is right, she can retreat to the background and reap the rewards.

At this moment, Duanmu Lian looked at the pink crystal that sealed El Ajif and let out a sigh.

After seeing the memories of his other self, he was able to personally experience the other person's resentment.

Because Duanmu Lian and Da Shizi Jiulang were very good friends.

Because of the other party's strong sense of justice and morality, the other party was quite willing to help him after learning about Duanmu Lian's situation.

The reason is just as Daijuku Kuro said—the desire to help and protect others needs no reason behind it.

He felt guilty if he ignored Duanmu Lian, and this guilt was unbearable for him.

[Idiot] [True nice guy]

This was Duanmu Lian's initial impression of Da Shizi Jiulang, but undeniably, she couldn't bring herself to dislike such a person.

Because Duanmu Lian didn't want to owe anyone favors, she did her best in helping Da Shizi Jiulang.

It was under these circumstances that the two became good friends.

However, Duanmu Lian was very unwilling to accept that she couldn't help Daishiku Kuro reach a happy ending.

Why did he die in the world of Machine God Roar?

Perhaps it's to repay a favor, perhaps it's because of friendship, or perhaps it's to prove that your help to 'me' was absolutely meaningful.

"Meaning...meaning...finding meaning in meaninglessness."

Duanmu Lian turned and left the architectural space that sealed El Ajif, her eyes revealing a deep sense of bewilderment and sadness.

Then he arrived in Avici Hell.

He sent back everything he had obtained from the other world for research, especially the Blacklight Virus and the things he obtained from the Reincarnation Apostle.

Judging by the time, I should have figured something out by now, during this eternal agony.

"The Blacklight Virus and the Seven-Colored Lotus are the most valuable. We are still researching the others. Let me show you the results first."

In the massive laboratory of Eternal Calamity, the group that appeared before Duanmu Lian consisted of most of the scientists from Eternal Calamity.

Moreover, not only was his memory present, but two mature and beautiful women were also there.

"Based on existing materials and experimental data, we have made extreme modifications to the Blacklight virus, creating three different works that address its [evolutionary power]."

The speaker was a woman with long, azure-blue hair, four wings on her back, and a gentle appearance.

The other person's name is Daedalus, a Synapse winged being from "Heaven's Lost Property", and is also the lover of Duanmu Lian, who also has four wings on his back.

Synapse possesses formidable technological power, with Daedalus being its most outstanding member.

The artificial angels, teleportation cards, and even the "rules" tablets in the Heaven's Lost property world were all created by Daedalus.

Her research level is among the best in the entire Eternal Abyss.

"Three works...?"

Following Daedalus's guidance, Duanmu Lian arrived at the lab bench and saw three test tubes containing different colored liquids placed in a container.

The three test tubes, from left to right, are blackish-red, golden-red, and white-gold, respectively.

"First, there's the [Magic Light Genome], which is an enhanced and modified version of the Blacklight Virus's three abilities: [devouring], [assimilation], and [evolution]."

Daedalus first pointed to the far left, to the vessel containing the dark red liquid, and began to explain to Duanmu Lian the ability of this tube to manage the genome.

The Magic Light Genome is an enhanced and evolved version of the Blacklight Virus.

If you wish, you can still call it the Blacklight Virus, since the scientists in Eternal Abyss enhanced and modified the original virus.

The Magic Light Genome is something born from the Black Light Virus fusing various materials with the abilities of [evolution], [assimilation], and [devouring].

It is fitting to call it a "demon".

Because the memories within Eternal Abyss have fused and enhanced this thing with far too many of the advantages of its materials.

Let me briefly list a few of the materials contained in the Magic Light Virus.

Alien [cells].

The [Progenitor Virus], [G Virus], [T Virus], [Cameron Virus], and [Ouroboros Virus] from Resident Evil.

The Oracle Cell in God Eater.

The "Alien Beast Cell" from Ultraman Nexus.

Godzilla's G cells.

The "monster cell" from One-Punch Man.

Zerg cells in StarCraft.

Gourmet Cells from Toriko.

.........

.........

Anything that can enhance the virus's three major characteristics of [evolution], [assimilation], and [devouring]

Scientists, driven by interest and research desires in the Eternal Abyss, also ruthlessly consume the experimental materials within the space's interior.

After all, the things we collect are meant to be consumed and used.

After being enhanced from the Blacklight Virus into the Magic Light Genome, it became even more powerful and dangerous.

It eats everything, whether organic or inorganic, whether it's a planet or a star; [Magic Light] has the power to devour.

The memories within Eternal Abyss used the Marble Universe as their experimental ground, witnessing firsthand how the power of the Magic Light Genome swallowed an entire planet, which then transformed into a massive cloud that spread throughout the galaxy and even the universe.

Although it was ultimately destroyed by Duanmu Lian in the Eternal Abyss, it also proved its own powerful capabilities.

"This thing isn't suitable for someone like me who practices martial arts, but it's more suitable for my [avatars] to use."

After learning about the power of the [Magic Light], Duanmu Lian shook his head helplessly and stated bluntly that this thing was not suitable for him to use.
